Emil Lillo’s sculptural practice is situated around the making and placing of singular objects. By being self-contained, the objects usually attempt to make a distance to any given surrounding – posing as members of something absent or invisible. It is within this dissonance, evoked by the object but located beyond it, where his interest lies.
